It took just five minutes for 18 year old female wrestler to defeat male champion Nawab from Lucknow amidst a huge crowd that cheered this girl all the way.
Shri Ramlila Parishad Jogi Nawada organizes wrestling contests every year during Ramlila. The organizers have been holding wrestling bouts since 1972, but women's wrestling started 12 years ago only and this special girl was the first ever to challenge the men.
This special girl is Neha Tomar who is daughter of a farmer from Dhakrani village in Dehradun Uttarakhand. Neha took to the ring from the age of 11 and has not looked back since. Dropping out after passing high school in 2015, wrestling has become her life now.
Sakshi Malik, who won bronze medal in Rio Olympics 2016, is Neha's role model and Neha's now only ambition is to win a medal in Olympics.
